As a collection of popular and classical music sung by one of the most lyrical tenors ever to set foot on stage, this CD would be hard to surpass. Catalan native José Carreras always seemed to us the most endearing of the "Three Tenors," and these 18 soulful tracks go straight to the heart while delighting the ears. Songs include "As Time Goes By," "The Shadow of Your Smile," "Plaisir d'amour," "Torna a Surriento," "Be My Love," "Dein ist mein ganzes Herz," "Tonight," and "O sole mio"; among the opera selections are "Che gelida manina" from La bohème, "Una furtiva lagrima" from L'elisir d'amore, "E lucevan le stele" from Tosca, "Nessun dorma" from Turandot, and "Ombra mai fu" from Serse (Xerxes).
